All good things must come to an end. That’s exactly what Dancing with the Stars alumni Joey Graziadei is talking about right now. Keep reading to learn more about Joey’s future in reality TV and a special project up his sleeve.
Joey Graziadei’s Future
Joey Graziadei is well known for his time in reality TV, especially the Bachelor franchise, along with his win on Dancing with the Stars. He’s been very successful in all shows he’s touched, even finding the love of his life. During season 28 of The Bachelor, he starred as the lead, dating several women in hopes of finding love. Lucky for him, that’s exactly what happened.
During his time on the show, he met his future wife, Kelsey Anderson. Unlike other reality TV relationships, they have made it work. He even re-proposed to her, solidifying his love for her. The couple plans to officially get married in 2027.
The Bachelor isn’t all he’s known for, though. He also won Dancing with the Stars in 2024. So, he’s had a pretty good track record when it comes to being on TV.
However, now that’s all changing.
A Change Of Plans
According to Entertainment Now, Joey will be hanging up his reality TV hat. Apparently, he announced this at a panel for Dancing with the Stars.
“I’ve had my stint on reality TV. I think I need to take a break on that one,” Joey says.
However, that doesn’t mean he’s shying away from cameras. Instead, he’s going to be focusing more on film.
“I do have a movie coming out later this year. Watch it at your own risk,” he says.
Working With A Co-Star
Fans of DWTS should get excited, though, as it was revealed Val Chmerkovskiy and Joey Graziadei are working together on a project.
“We’re actually shooting something together next weekend, right? For an ABC show. He’s got a little acting,” Val says.
“We are. Stay tuned on that one,” Joey agrees.
Of course, he’ll never forget his reality TV stardom, calling DWTS ‘once in a lifetime.’
“Honestly, I mean–‘Dancing with the Stars,’ it’s really hard to follow that show up. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” he admits.
It will certainly be exciting to watch as Joey continues his journey in a new field of work. Hopefully his movies are a success, and he continues to push his career forward! But if not, he has a lot of fans there to support him anyway.
